As a constable earning three taels a month, the boldest thing Ruan Yueyao ever did was seduce Xue Huai, the wealthiest man in Jiangdong.
She had only meant to get back at his cousin, the scoundrel who had toyed with her and abandoned her.
But she never expected Xue Huai to be so handsome and charming. Unlike his rotten cousin, he was a billionaire who was also cultured, devoted, and attentive.
He was good at taking care of her, too.
...How had she gotten lucky enough to stumble upon such a prize?
Their days together were sweet as honey, and Ruan Yueyao decided to bury her conscience and carry on with the deception.
Until one night, when she got up and discovered several terrifying assassins surrounding the house, each looking like a living King of Hell.
The man who should have been beside her pillow was accepting their obeisance and issuing commands.
His voice was cold, his expression vicious. He was nothing like the man she knew.

Ruan Yueyao made discreet inquiries and discovered that Xue Huai's origins were unfathomable.
She didn't dare investigate further, but she knew all too well that someone as formidable as him would never let her get away with what she'd done. So she left without a word and requested a transfer to Wuzhou.
Then the Song and Wei kingdoms went to war, and Wuzhou was the first to suffer.
On the day the city fell, Ruan Yueyao was tied up and thrown into the enemy camp.
The man seated in the place of honor was the enemy kingdom's heir, Zhou Huaixue.
He was also the man she had seduced and then abandoned: Xue Huai.
He didn't untie her. Instead, he grabbed the knot of the rope around her waist and tossed her into his tent.
Months had passed.
The man who used to be so gentle that he was afraid of hurting her even while brushing her hair now held her down by force, his eyes clouded with an unrelenting gloom. "You said you loved only me. I believed you. So for the rest of your life, you can only be mine."
